Installing Printer in Ubuntu: Firewall Error

Good day!

The firewallD error during printer installation is a bug prevailing in Ubuntu. Unfortunately the problem in the conventional printer configuration tool has not been fixed yet by Canonical Ltd. But there is a way around it.

Also you should know that this problem only appears when Gnome 3 desktop environment is installed and does not appear in Unity.

So to work around the problem you can use the ‘system-config-printer’ in place of the ‘printer configuration tool’. To start it, press ALT + F2, then type: system-config-printer then press Enter.
